Chicken Binakol

Hot and hearty chicken stew with fresh young coconut meat and buko juice as the broth. Perfect for the cold weather!

This Chicken soup is popular in Visayas Region specially in Iloilo. This soup is very similar to Tinolang Manok. But instead of regular water, coconut juice is used that makes the broth taste unique. The use of coconut juice made the soup thick, rich and gave it a hint of sweetness.

This simple dish taste more authentic if native chicken is used and smell so aromatic if cooked in a bamboo shell or serve in a fresh coconut shell (fresh bao ng buko).

The variation of flavors, ingredients, process of cooking and serving will surely result to a savoury aromatic soup. Happy cooking!
